'Shahid Azmi' - 38 News Result(s)

"I am extremely happy for Shahid. As a mother, I support and bless him. Shahid has been busy with his work and leading a bachelor's life. It is exciting to see him finally settle down," Neelima Azmi said

Director Hansal Mehta's Shahid, which won the National Award for the best film for the year 2013, was replaced by Marathi feature film Astu as the opening film at the 61st National Film Festival, 2014.

President Pranab Mukherjee today gave away trophies to the winners of National Film Awards including the best film for Anand Gandhi's 'Ship of Theseus' and most popular film to Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra-directed 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'.

Raj Kumar Yadav, whose film Shahid on human rights lawyer Shahid Azmi recently hit screens, feels that having a superstar on board for promoting or presenting a movie does not necessarily guarantee success.

Shahid has become a beacon of hope to many independent filmmakers who can now dream of having commercial release of their movies. Director Hansal Mehta urges moviegoers to watch his film to boost the morale of indie filmmakers further.

Shahid is a film that I am really proud of. It's not only a film for me, it's an entire journey about how you actually don't need a lot of money to make a good film. All you need is a good story, great team and basic budget in place and lot of passion which every member of Shahid had.

Biopic is a territory where very few Bollywood filmmakers want to tread, but Hansal Mehta was not apprehensive to take on the real-life story of slain human rights activist and lawyer Shahid Azmi even though people dissuaded him.

Actor Raj Kumar Yadav says he volunteered to do the naked interrogation scene in Shahid, based on the life of slain lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi, as he wanted to feel the character's pain and humiliation.

Slain human rights lawyer Shahid Azmi's brother Khalid says he was moved to see the journey of his older sibling on screen and is quite content with the biopic made by Hansal Mehta as it's almost accurate.

Actor Raj Kumar Yadav, who will be seen nude in Hansal Mehta's Shahid, is not comfortable with frontal nudity but says he doesn't want to limit himself.
"I can't limit myself but I am not comfortable doing frontal nudity," Raj Kumar said.
